Intended use

Your Black & Decker sander has been designed for sanding

wood, metal, plastics and painted surfaces. This tool is

intended for consumer use only.

Safety instructions

General power tool safety warnings

Warning! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may

result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below

refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery

operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark

areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a

cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric

shock.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use a power tool while you are tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

of inattention while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on

invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning

the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a

rotating part of the power tool may result in personal

injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power

tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away

from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of these devices

can reduce dust related hazards

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application. The correct power tool will do

the job better and safer at the rate for which it was

designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

the battery pack from the power tool before making

any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

ENGLISH

d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power

tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained

users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired

before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are

less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in

accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work to be

performed. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a

hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts. This

will make sure that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

Additional power tool safety warnings

 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

because the sanding belt / sanding base may

contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" could give

the operator an electric shock.

 Use clamps or another practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding

the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

 Warning! Contact with or inhalation of dust arising from

sanding applications may endanger the health of the

operator and possible bystanders. Wear a dust mask

specifically designed for protection against dust and

fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the

work area are also protected.

 Thoroughly remove all dust after sanding.

 Take special care when sanding paint which is possibly

lead based or when sanding some woods and metal

which may produce toxic dust:

 Do not let children or pregnant women enter the work

area.

 Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.

 Dispose of dust particles and any other debris safely.

The intended use is described in this instruction manual.

The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of

any operation with this tool other than those recommended

in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal

injury and/or damage to property.

Labels on tool

The following pictograms are shown on the tool:

Safety of others

 This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a

person responsible for the their safety.

 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the appliance.

Vibration

The declared vibration emission values stated in the

technical data and the declaration of conformity have been

measured in accordance with a standard test method

provided by EN 60745 and may be used for comparing one

tool with another. The declared vibration emission value may

also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

Warning! The vibration emission value during actual use of

the power tool can differ from the declared value depending

on the ways in which the tool is used. The vibration level may

increase above the level stated.

When assessing vibration exposure to determine safety

measures required by 2002/44/EC to protect persons

regularly using power tools in employment, an estimation of

vibration exposure should consider, the actual conditions of

use and the way the tool is used, including taking account of

all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the

tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to

the trigger time.

Warning! Additional safety warnings for sanders.
